# Duplicate task

The **Duplicate Task** feature allows you to create a copy of an existing task with its configurations. The duplicated task will follow specific rules based on the original task’s **Start** and **Revert** settings.

### 1. Start time&#x20;

The app supports duplicating tasks based on their **Start Time** configuration as follows:

**a. Manual Start**

* If the original task is set to **Manual**, the duplicated task will also be created with **Manual** status.

**b. Scheduled Start**

* If the original task is scheduled, the app will compare the scheduled time with the current time:
  * **If the scheduled time has not been reached:**\
    → The duplicated task will be created and scheduled at the same time.
  * **If the scheduled time has already passed:**\
    → The duplicated task will be created and **run immediately**.

**c. Other Cases**

* If you duplicate a task that was previously set to **“Start Now,”** the duplicated task will have its start time automatically set to **Manual Start**.

This behavior ensures that the new task does not run immediately, giving you time to review and make any necessary changes before executing it.

### 2. Revert task time

The duplicated task’s **Revert** setting is set to **Disabled** by default.&#x20;

You may then configure the Revert settings as needed to suit your requirements.
